- ... that 10 people have been killed crossing the Cascade Saddle? Source: https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/cascade-crossing-may-be-made-safer
Created by ResonantDistortion (talk). Self-nominated at 10:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cascade Saddle Track; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- ... New article, long enough, no copyvio issues, reads well, QPQ provided. Plenty of references. The hook is in the article and is followed by a citation to a reference containing hook fact. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:05, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- @ResonantDistortion and Whispyhistory: The word killed does not seem to fit. The people fell to their deaths according to sources. Without objection I will tweak the language to ALT1 below. Also the two sources in the article, one (Citation 6) claims three in the past decade and the Otago Daily Times (citation 8) claims "as many as 10 lives over several decades" so I think the hook works. "As many as" is a bit WP:WEASELy. Note to admin - Earwig is not working for me.
